Why Step-by-Step Plans?

The ideal interactive whiteboard lessons.
Students are often thrown in at the deep end during creative lessons. An assignment like “draw your vacation” can be quite a challenge without a step-by-step plan. At Brush Academie, children are given the opportunity to experience success. That’s why Brush Academie developed clear step-by-step guides. However, for some students, a printable guide is not enough. So Brush Academie took it a step further in developing materials: lessons with videos.

Each slide shows an intermediate step with text and a video without narration. The video plays repeatedly. Each video lesson also includes a slide with multiple videos, ideal for students who work at different speeds. In addition, every video lesson provides differentiation tips to enrich or simplify the lesson. This way, Brush Academie makes it easier and more fun for both you and your students!

Art That Touches

More than creative. More than artistic.
The Brush Academie wants to offer more than creative lessons. They want to teach how to make art that touches the heart. Art that generates enthusiasm and can be used in other subjects at school. The hand lettering lessons and downloads are ideal for the handwriting development to encourage. Your students have never written so voluntarily!

Furthermore, they currently have lessons on the theme flag/countries for world orientation and in the theme human body for nature (theme: human body) with creative processing assignments. In addition, you will find Christian religion lessons for Christmas and Easter at Brush Academie.

In practice, it turns out that classes that can “brush” can easily apply these skills in other subjects, such as language lessons or social studies.

Ready-Made Lessons

Less preparation, more enjoyment!
Brush Academie's creative online lessons are ready for immediate use in the classroom. The online workshops constitute a complete teacher training program. Everything has been developed by dual-qualified teachers (primary and secondary) using achievable materials: less clutter in your classroom, more fun and sensory de-stressing for you and your students. Tip: order your annual access using your training budget.

Together with Brush Academie's team of 12 primary school teachers, they are testing the lessons in the classroom. Brush Academie's students would love to come to school early for it. And take three guesses what is on their Sinterklaas wish lists?!

How Long Does a Lesson Last?

An impressive artwork in under an hour!

The lessons from Brush Academie are designed so that artworks can generally be completed in about 30–45 minutes. Some lessons are more extensive and can be spread over two or three sessions. The more experience students gain, the faster they can create the art.

The great thing about Brush Academie’s creative ideas is that they can also be done in short bursts. You let the work dry and continue next time. This makes them perfect for choice cabinets and ideal for students with limited time or concentration!
